Hebrew Public

We manage and support public charter schools that teach Modern Hebrew to children from all backgrounds, preparing them to be successful global citizens.

We operate schools in New York City and Philadelphia. We also support an affiliate network of schools in California, Washington D.C., New Jersey, and Minnesota. Our schools serve students from PreK through 8th grade.

Currently, we oversee 10 schools and have two more in development, serving about 4,000 students. We were founded in 2009. Our educational approach emphasizes Hebrew language, global citizenship, and Israel Studies, providing a full curriculum for elementary and middle school students.

Our mission is to lead a national movement of public charter schools that teach Modern Hebrew to children of all backgrounds and prepare them to be successful global citizens.

Hebrew Public has 201-500 employees. The organizational structure includes an Executive Team, Program Team, Operations Team, Talent Team, and External Team. These teams consist of directors and managers responsible for school programs, curriculum and instruction, Hebrew & Israel Studies, network operations, data and analytics, finance, talent recruitment, human resources, external relations, student recruitment, marketing, and an Israel Office.
